It is claimed that Allah is the Creator, who has
created man to embrace Islam, the true religion.
Since out of six billion people, who inhabit the earth
today, just about one billion of them, call themselves Muslims, and the rest are
opposed to this faith, Allah has, obviously, failed as the Creator.
To make up this deficiency, He incites His followers to
wage a holy war against the infidels and affirms massacre, plunder and
enslavement of their women and children as "good and lawful." Since
such acts are considered atrocious even when measured by low standards of
morality, one wonders if Allah is really Divine.
The situation is exacerbated beyond description when
paradise, the abode of most luxurious sex, is declared as the reward for this
unholy violence against humanity. This is called Jehad; it led to establishing a
Secular Arab Empire, which eventually turned into a Spiritual Arab Empire as
naturally as a larva changes into a butterfly.
A glaring example of this fact is to be found in the
Partition of India, which took place during 1947. It was not brought about by
the Arabic sword, but the zeal of the Indian Muslims to carry the yoke of the
Spiritual Arab Imperialism voluntarily!
Besides sex and violence, Islam seems to have a third
approach, which is rational. It declares that there is "no coercion in
religion" (2:25 ) and the truth must be vindicated by proof (2:III). If the
Muslim can prove that the contents and conclusions of this book are false or
far-fetched, I shall be honour-bound to apologise publicly; otherwise they must
hold their peace and rethink about the divine origin of Islam.
